Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

A Few Future Interstates I Haven't Discussed

Frequently, you've seen me mention Interstate 69 as the subject of some of my computer chickenscratch of blog posts past. You've even seen my wild imagination regarding future routes that haven't been thought out by others. Well, I haven't gotten around to some other actual, ongoing, real projects that are also works in progress around America.

For now, I'll give you two.

Interstate 57 is in the works. Every time I go on Google Maps street view...

Let's Face It: We Can't Make Good Posts

As it is, this writer is very honest in his presentation. In everything I do, I always try to do my best. There are some folks on this forum who feel the same way. Some, anyway. But what about the others?

Doesn't presentation have to mean something anymore? Just look around the various forums right here on City-Data. Look at the posts. And look at the titles. Despite people's best intentions, sometimes the main point gets messed up because a poster...

Case Gets On TV During A Stop To Buy A Baseball Ticket

Posted 08-22-2019 at 08:41 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

You just never know with vacations.

It's not every day that a traveler arrives in a city and immediately gets asked to interview for a morning news show on television. So, after The Case purchases his ticket for Monday night's Houston Astros-Detroit Tigers game, a KIAH cameraman stops me and I obliged. There was KIAH-TV (Channel 39) doing a brief round of questions about the Astros' recent decision to implement new extended netting to protect fans at Minute Maid...

I-69 Update: Splendora To Cleveland, Finally??

Posted 08-18-2019 at 07:52 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)
Updated 08-19-2019 at 03:24 AM by case44

There just aren't adequate words here. I've only waited some eight years to finally see in writing that a particular plan was going to happen. We may finally see fruition now.

U.S. Highway 59 will, at long last, get an upgrade of the highway to freeway standards between Cleveland and Splendora, Texas, in order to one day become part of the Interstate 69 artery system. From this writer (and much-avowed Texas roads fanatic ), there is much rejoicing! I'm...

Chocolate Pecan Ooey Gooey Butter Cake

Posted 08-12-2019 at 03:06 PM by case44 (Welcome To Case's Column)

When something really catches your eye, you just want to seize it. And what I've just found on Pinterest, oh boy, would this really be worth keeping? I'd say so.

I caught a quick run-through of how to make a chocolate pecan ooey gooey butter cake. Man, that really looked incredible. And, so, I've saved it to my favorites on my computer. One of these days, I've got to give that rascal a try. Just look it up on Google or DuckDuckGo, and...
